Watford are interested in signing Barcelona winger Gerard Deulofeu, it has been claimed.

The Spaniard, who was re-signed by Barcelona from Everton last summer, has struggled for game time in the present campaign.




Deulofeu has thus far managed to clock up just 892 minutes of action over 17 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring twice and setting up three goals.

The 23-year-old has been heavily linked with quitting the Camp Nou this month, with Napoli, Inter, AC Milan and Roma credited with showing interest in him.
 


However, according to Spanish radio station RAC1, Watford have also entered the race for the Spain international.

It is believed that new Watford boss Javi Gracia has identified Deulofeu, who has had two stints in the Premier League previously with Everton, as a possible recruit in the winter window.

It remains to be seen if the Hornets manage to agree terms with Barcelona regarding the possible transfer of Deulofeu, who has four caps and goal for Spain to his name.
